Default Trainer or not!?

As RCKEN sez,plus should be doing basic aerobics with out to many problems,loops,rolls,inverted flight,snaps,spins,dead stick landing,figure 8's,cuban 8's,even then I advise having the instructor stand by with the next plane.Not all pilots listen,until it's to late,I have a large stack of pictures from crashes,most are where students left the trainer to soon and next plane was a little to much. At our club if you can take off,land ,turn,loop,roll,deadstick land,then you are a pilot,my .02,that's not enough,but again I'm not a genius,just an old pilot with lots of stick time.
Have a goodun,John.
